I have issues with .357 brass and slight bulges at the bottom (in a Chaparral .357 single action). Chambers factory fine, so I know it`s the reloads...also one chamber is especially tight. So there are a few of us revolver types with issues...

I'm another Lee handpress fan. I don't go thru a ton of ammo, but I crank out 9mm, .38/.357, .44Mag and .45ACP in lots of about 150 a time. Sit in front of telly and size/deprime, then prime using the Lee Autoprime (nifty bit of kit). Then switch off telly, switch on your mind and charge the...

Prohibited shottys in Canada (sorry this is the wrong section) Sawed-off rifles or shotguns with overall length less than 660mm (26 inches); this does not apply to firearms manufactured with short stocks or short barrels

Can't resist blabbing about a deal us Northerners get on a Norinco Tokarev 9mm. $99 Canadian. I guess we can thank the US import embargo for this :) http://www.canadaammo.com/product.php?productid=59&cat=0&page=1

Please forgive a Canadian for gloating about the few gun related things we can do that you can't...assuming this China-made shotty is on the verboten list south of the border. Check out the deal below...free shipping as well :) http://www.canadaammo.com/product.php?productid=58&cat=0&page=1

I can't resist a cheap deal, so I've just bought myself a new Norinco JW-25a .22LR "Mauser trainer" from Lever Arms in Vancouver for a whole C$99 :)

9mm 1911'2 Well, c'mon up to Canada and buy a few :)

9mm Recommendations C$349 C$399

7.62 & Toks We up in Canada have quite a bit of (hot, but safe) Czech milsurp corrosive 7.62x25 available in crates. Also a plethora of Chinese Tokarevs (no useless add-on safety!) for about C$175.

Cheap .22 Sadly not relevant to US readers (unless there's used ones available) but for ultra-cheap .22 jollies there's the Norinco M-93 (Woodsman clone) for C$149 new:

Worth the Effort? Cheap ammo in Canada? Ha! Only commercial ammo I use is 7.62x39 and 7.62x25 and they qualify as "cheap" only because they're Czech corrosive and are sold by the case lot up here (Marstar and Lever Arms). So it's Lee for me :)

Canadian Corner I love the thrill, the frisson of excitement, when I pick up oddball brass at the pistol range. Remember, this is in Canada...the .25 and .32 bad boys (that only fit in "prohibited" pistols) the so far little seen .45GAP, the .38 Super - and I don't reload any of them...collect...

Hand Press People Chalk up another fan of the Lee Hand Press. Though I have a Challenger mounted to a Workmate clone (bolted to a piece of wood) I find myself relying on the hand press for depriming, priming, just about everything except for powder dispensing. It's the cat's ass for what it...
